About the race
The Santa Claus Shuffle takes place on Saturday, December 12, 2026, in Olde Towne Portsmouth at 16 Crawford Circle, Portsmouth, Virginia. It is described as a festive, family-friendly activity open to individuals of all ages.
The event features two running options:
- 5k race
- 1 mile fun run
This is the 32nd annual Santa Claus Shuffle. Organizers describe more than 30 years of community involvement and say the event supports the Tidewater Youth Services Foundation. Community support from the event has helped the foundation provide "quality of life" needs and experiences, including clothing for an interview and family outings to mark the end of the school year.
After the race, racing bibs can be used for discounts at local restaurants and museums. A post race party is mentioned and details will be provided later. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
